Layer One promises the moon and stars, but you need to be prepared for what the day-to-day resembles. Externally, Layer One delivers some fantastic solutions and products and does a great job making clients happy. Internally, however, it's a different story. L1 is embedded in startup culture, both positively and negatively; on the one hand, products and projects move quickly and there are some exciting developments. Your position will quickly evolve and change depending on business needs. On the other hand, the volatility and turnkey nature of products produces tons of stress and confusion, which creates issues for the entire team. Employees are on a very short leash with vague performance goals. Turnover is EXTREMELY high (a shocking amount of employees departed over the last year). Also, concerningly, leadership encourages a "frat" culture, and I heard many things behind closed doors that were downright disrespectful. There's a ton of technical know-how, but a shockingly low amount of EQ. Layer One attracts a specific type of person, and you need to know what employment with them entails before accepting an offer from them.
